Metro Tech Celebrates Record-Breaking Achievements and Impact on Community
Metro Tech, a leading educational institution in Oklahoma City, is basking in the glow of its recent accomplishments and the positive impact it has had on its students, community, and local businesses. The institution has seen a significant increase in applications, program enrollment, and clients served through the Oklahoma CareerTech’s Economic and Workforce Development system.
In the past year, Metro Tech experienced a 42% rise in applications, a 28% increase in full-time program enrollment, and a remarkable 77% surge in clients served. These numbers reflect the strong commitment and enthusiasm of the community for quality career training.
One of the key factors that set Metro Tech apart is its dedication to ensuring positive outcomes for its graduates. In fiscal year 2022, an impressive 94% of students who completed a program found positive placement upon graduation, whether through gainful employment, military service, or further education.
Recognizing the challenges faced by the community, Metro Tech has partnered with the Oklahoma County sheriff’s office to address the shortage of 911 dispatchers in the area. A new dispatch center has been constructed on the South Bryant Campus, providing a training ground for students interested in pursuing a career in emergency dispatch.
Metro Tech’s ability to adapt quickly to the needs of the community and businesses is a testament to its agility and commitment to aligning its programs with the evolving demands of the workforce. The institution takes pride in being a dynamic force that positively impacts the lives of its students and the prosperity of the region.
